Born of noble stock to parents who become marooned on the savage West African coast, the young Lord Greystoke is orphaned in his first year of life. Named Tarzan by the great apes that raise him, he must learn the law of the jungle to survive. As he matures, his strength and agility develop to match those of the beasts that he is surrounded by, yet he realizes that he is different. He combines higher intelligence, superhuman strength, and his jungle training to become the unconquerable Lord of the Jungle.


When a group of civilized people invade Tarzan's jungle paradise, his life is changed forever, for with them is Jane. Jane is the first woman Tarzan has ever seen, and he must have her as his own. But how can this uncivilized ape-man hope to win her?

      Shelly Frasier brings Burroughs's classic Tarzan adventures to life with an English boarding school style that fits the period of the story. After Lord Greystoke and Lady Alice's shipwreck and death, baby Greystoke is found by a fierce female ape, who carries him deep into the African jungle, where he grows up and learns to be Lord of the Jungle. Frasier captures Tarzan's tribal experiences with appropriate sound effects and seamless narration. She depicts Tarzan swinging through the trees and speaking guttural grunts with British-accented enunciation. Frasier's perfectly rendered delivery makes this classic well suited to long commutes. Also included is a companion ebook, PDF format, with automatic start-up instructions. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

      Tarzan fans can have their fill of jungle adventures. With impeccable diction and pacing, Ben Kingsley takes the material fairly seriously. In relating ludicrous episodes, such as Tarzan's rescue of the English gentlemen, Professor Porter and Mr. Philander, there is no hint of humor or amusement. Kingsley maintains detachment, which some may appeciate. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
